About Slicebooks

Some say Slicebooks is iTunes for ebooks, which was our original intention - to give users that same get-by-the-slice freedom with book content that music customers enjoyed when iTunes launched. We built the world’s first iTunes-style store for ebooks in 2013, (store.slicebooks.com) that lets trainers, students & consumers get content whole, by the chapter or mix & match to create custom ebooks. Now we license that store for special use cases like education and corporate portals for student and employee training & education. We partner with publishers to provide the content needed by our clients. Publishers use our content management system to chunk content and create custom ebooks.

In 2018 we licensed our store platform to Minha Biblioteca, a consortium of the 5 leading academic publishers in Brazil. Their store, called “Pasta Do Professor” (loja.minhabiblioteca.com.br), is designed to let professors easily create custom course packs and make them available to students. It is so gratifying to watch the model work so well on an international scale.

But we couldn’t sit still, so we launched yaBeam, as a mobile extension of the Slicebooks philosophy. Slicebooks gives users the freedom to get content how they want it. yaBeam adds location & context to help you discover content at the right time & place.

Committed to Remote

We are a small group of publishing veterans, product designers and night owl coders. Like many of the companies we work with, we’ve always believed that work is better without borders, and we believe we provide better service to our customers as a result. We work across multiple time zones, and so are always online and ready for action. We try to infuse that philosophy in the tools we build and the services we provide.
